Kirtan Fun Fact: What’s the difference between the words “Jai” and “Jaya” (two words used a lot in kirtan?)? Not much! Both words mean essentially “Victory!” or “Hail!” (and I like to say it’s like “Yay!,” perhaps derivative of it) The word “Jaya” is Sanskrit, and that is how it would have been said way back when. “Jai” is more how the word is written and pronounced in modern Indian languages, and my source says that other variants include “joi” and “jey.” Also, we often hear “Jai” pronounced as “Jai,” and also a lot as “Jey.” It seems both are correct.

Alexa Sunshine Rose is a brilliant singer songstress… I have just recently been blessed to receive her sonic satsang & like a devotee bee eager to spread the buzz, here I am sharing the goddesspell : )

This video is of Alexa performing “Jai Ma/Mother of Creation” live at a private house concert on Maui, Feb, 2014.

This was an entrancing, enchanting performance, I sat mesmerized…Alexa’s presence is remarkable.

This is a short, humorous excerpt from Ram Dass’ Valentines Satsang at the Makawao Union Church on Maui, Feb, 2014. Best-selling author Gary Zukav was the moderator. Sat Santokh is the man sitting to the right of Ram Dass.

ALOHA YOGA LOVAHs!

So very grateful to announce that our February Maui Mystic Yoga Teacher Immersion (200+ Hour Yoga Alliance Certification) is really coming together in a big and delightful way!

For the first week of our retreat, we will be joined by Ann Averbach of Divinitree Yoga who will lead us each morning in her unique style, Gyspy Flow Yoga, and at a truly epic space here on Maui, Blue Mountain’s Sacred Earth Temple in Haiku. Please read on for more about Ann and what she offers, and please register now to reserve your spot for that special first week.

Want to also mention that I first met and had the blessed opportunity to attend Ann’s class at last year’s epic Mystic Island Festival (mysticislandfestival.com) here on Maui. I loved it and know you will, too.

And we’ll both be back at this year’s 7th Annual Mystic Island event, and what an amazing experience this will be! Please check out the flyer below to see all of the brilliant artists, speakers, and other presenters who are showing up for this, wow! Our yoga immersion is also officially a “Mystic Immersion” event as we are part of the Mystic tribe, and this will be the first Mystic Immersion we have offered. We welcome any and all Mystic Island Festival family to join us!

DiviniTree and Yoga University collaborate to bring you the February Radiant Life Revolution in Paradise! An amazing week of yoga and transformation. Immerse yourself in community, yoga, chanting, and meditation. Come celebrate and gift yourself a week of rejuvenation. We will go deep, cleanse, heal, dance, and play!

Experience the magic and power of Gypsy Yoga Flow with Ann Averbach founder of Divinitree Yoga

Life is best lived savoring every breath and moment of the journey; the journey is the destination. Gypsy Flow Yoga is always fresh, surprising, and uplifting.

”I want to share the feeling that years of traveling freely gifted me, into my classes.”

Full of creative sequencing and inspiration, Gypsy Yoga is a physically challenging, yet deeply spiritual practice. We train our body temples to reach peak optimization so that we can harness more light, more love, more divinity. Gypsy Flow juxtaposes demanding aerobic sequences with juicy, fluid sequencing, with luscious moments of freedom where the practitioner can listen to their inner teacher. Interweaving positive visualization, affirmation work, pranayama, mantra, and meditation into the practice, gypsy yoga flow is truly a practice meant to journey into the depths of our inner light.

I personally will be offering “Breakthrough Breathwork” and also “Fly Thai Yoga Play” at the event. For a little glimpse of the “Flying Yoga,” here is a video that Meenakshi Angel Honig and I just created here on Maui:
